Dear all, 

Which do you think would be the most grammatically acceptable for an academic title:

1. A new approach to processing verbal irony

2. A new approach to the processing of verbal irony

3. A new approach to verbal irony processing

4. A new approach to verbal irony comprehension

5. A new approach to the comprehension of verbal irony?

If more than one, degree of formality?

Many thanks!

Not 1, 3 or 4 (although they are gramatically correct, technically).

2 and 5 sound fine because of the use of 'the' and 'of'.
